And if the program goes under, you've got all those galleries and content you can use to promote some other site. Get your head out of your ass.

And if I catch an affiliate doing that I'll term them so fast it'll make their head spin.
Putting my affiliate cap on...I've been an affiliate of just about every program out there since I started online in 1997. I would never feel the need to do this.
Having said that...yes, it is all about branding. There is no way to protect our content these days with everybody stealing it. So the best thing a person can do is to watermark it in hopes of getting some type in here and there. Sorry if that doesn't fit some people's criteria...but I'm the guy who is spending the money, taking the risks, putting in the creativity, etc. ,etc. to create my content. And everytime I see it out there being used without my permission I dmca it down. And if one of my affiliates ever tried a stunt like taking my watermarks off I would terminate their account and they would never see another penny from it.
Just like I would expect it to happen to me if I were to try that as an affiliate.
